MAESTRO - Interactive installation

En avant la musique! Visitors to the Place des Festivals now have their first-ever chance to step into the role of orchestra conductor and play the spouts in the fountain, thanks to Maëstro, an interactive installation created by ATOMIC3.

Accompanied by the music of Bizet, Tchaikovsky or Beethoven, would-be maestros are invited to wave the sensor equipped baton and control the fountain’s hundreds of spouts, which will shoot water to the rhythm of the music and the baton.

Maestro will return from August 6 to 10 2015, in time for the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal’s Classical Spree festival (August 5 to 8). Festivalgoers will have the chance to enjoy the musical, visual, technological and interactive experience between concerts.
